@BellamyYoung on-set with @THR #Emmys
Bellamy Young (in denim jacket) prepared to play first lady Mellie Grant by studying Jackie Kennedy. “I had a whole vision,” she says of her first series regular role. “I wanted to be an appropriate partner for Tony.”
Bellamy Young says she looks to Michelle Obama,Hillary Clinton, Dolly Madison and Julia Grant, among others, to play first lady Mellie Grant.Tony Goldwyn, meanwhile, says he sees his Republican President Fitzgerald Grant falling between Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. “Hopefully the real presidents’ personal lives are not as chaotic as Fitz’s is,” he says with a smile.
“Mellie’s story feels like a universal one,” Bellamy Young says of the first lady’s plight, which has included outing the president’s extramarital affair. “There are a lot of women who feel that they have done all the work in their relationship only for someone else to step in and take the love and credit. Mellie is the quintessential woman behind the man.”
Emmy Nomination Preview 2013 - Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama
Bellamy Young of ‘Scandal’
Bellamy Young, “Scandal”
Nomination Status: Is “Scandal” ready for an Emmy breakout? Voters could do worse than give that first attention to Bellamy Young.
In Her Favor: Victim or master manipulator? Hurt submissive wife or conniving Queen Bee? Hillary Clinton or Lady Macbeth? If I were doing a six-person short-list for this category, Bellamy Young would be on it, because I find her performance fascinating. Sometimes she’s naturalistic and emotionally stripped bare, but other times she’s arch and broad. Sometimes she’s a big-and-bold villain and sometimes she’s the vulnerable cuckquean. Sometimes her First Lady is just about the nasty, most awful woman ever and sometimes I’m rooting for her. “Scandal” is a loud, brash soap and it’s full of performances that match, but perhaps nobody in the cast has more levels on their adjustable dial than Young does.
Working Against Her: Just as Fitz can’t help but come back to Olivia, I’m guessing that Emmy voters will have a hard time getting over Kerry Washington and a harder time choosing to honor this supporting performance if they can’t find a way to honor the show’s lead.
It might be a long shot, but you can’t say she hasn’t earned it. Bellamy plays Mellie like no other #Brilliance

Bellamy— Perfect Lady— Young (Scandal 2x20)
“Tell Fitz he has 36 hours to convince me in person that he regrets the unfortunate choices he’s made and truly wants to recommit himself to his wife and children. If he doesn’t, he will have the pleasure of seeing the First Lady of the United States call her husband a whore-loving bastard on national television. Call my bluff, Cy. I dare you.” -Mellie Grant
Went for a bike ride to the gym and never made it. Took a tumble, dislocated my elbow & fractured my arm. I’m all good. Thanks to @hannahdlaine for everything and the kind strangers that helped me out of street and the paramedics that got me in a split in record time.
